Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a hardy perennial herb known for its aromatic, slightly bitter leaves and strong, earthy flavor. A staple in Mediterranean cuisine, it’s ideal for seasoning sauces, meats, and vegetables. Oregano thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. It also attracts pollinators and works well in herb gardens, borders, or containers.
